The Economic Benefits Of The Proposed Effluent Limitations Guidelines For The Organic Chemicals And Plastics And Synthetic Fibers Industries, Executive Summary.

Quick Links

This economic benefits analysis of the then proposed effluent limitations guidelines for the organic chemicals and plastics and synthetic fibers industries consists of in-depth analyses of two case study stream areas, the Kanawha River in West Virginia and the Houston Ship Channel/Upper Galveston Bay in Texas. The benefits assessments are separated into recreation and other nonhealth-related benefits (which include quantified and monetized estimates of recreation, commerical fishing, and intrinsic/nonuse benefits), and health benefits (which are quantified to the extent feasible but not assigned dollar values).
